The Sir Peter Blake Trust is seeking nominations for New Zealand’s premier Leadership Awards, which identify the achievements of leaders who add value to our nation.
The Blake Medal celebrates a New Zealander who has made an outstanding contribution to the country. The Sir Peter Blake Emerging Leader Award recognises and encourages six younger leaders of considerable potential.
The Leadership Awards will be conferred on July 1, the first day of the Sir Peter Blake Trust Leadership Week (July 1-8). The awards will be presented by Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand at Government House on July 1.
The Blake Medal is awarded to acknowledge and celebrate one outstanding New Zealand leader every year.
An accompanying set of awards, the Sir Peter Blake Emerging Leader Awards, are presented to six people recognised as younger leaders of considerable potential. Nearly all past Blake leaders were nominated by others without their knowledge; think about who is in your community that inspires you and is a leader through their deeds and efforts.
For more information and to request nomination forms, contact the Programme Director, Siobhan O’Kane at Siobhan@sirpeterblaketrust.org and find out more information at www.sirpeterblaketrust.org.
